I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start preaching
Let me ask you this my friend

Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it every day
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet they remember
Just what they're fighting for

Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?

I just needed to post that. I'm getting really frustrated because in History class we're "learning" about the Iraq War... Many of the students in my class are saying/arguing that we should never have gone into Iraq, that we made a mistake, that we are there because we need to clean up the mess we created ( what mess? did we fly the planes?), we are over in Iraq because of Oil, we shouldn't get involved with other countries affairs (seeing as every time we don't get involved, something bad happens), Saddam Hussein wasn't a mad man,... All that to say, I'm frustrated.

MISS BATES:
Well, I need not be uneasy, as long as we're allowed to say three dull 
things.Very dull, in fact. I should be sure to say things very dull 
in fact as soon as I open my mouth, shan't I?

EMMA:
That may be a difficult thing.

MISS BATES:
Oh, I doubt that. I'm sure I never fail to say things 
very dull.

EMMA:
Yes, dear, but you will be limited in number, only three.

MISS BATES:
...Oh,... to be sure. Yes. I see, I see,... I see what she means. 
I will try andhold my tongue... I must have made myself very 
disagreeable or she would nothave said such a thing to an... 
old friend. Just three... Yes.

MR KNIGHTLEY:
Miss Bates, will you give me the pleasure of your company 
whilst I picksome more strawberries?

MISS BATES:
Oh, thank you, Mr Knightley. That would be charming.

MR KNIGHTLEY:
Emma, how could you be so unfeeling to Miss Bates? 
How can you be so insolent to a woman of her age and situation? 
I had not thought itpossible?

EMMA:
How could I help saying it? I daresay she did not understand me.

MR KNIGHTLEY:
Oh, I assure you, she felt your fool meaning. She cannot 
stop mentioningit! I wish you could have heard her honor
your forbearance in putting up with her when her society is 
so irksome.

EMMA:
I know there is no better creature in all the world, but you must allow
that blended alongside of the good there is an equal among of 
ridiculous in her.

MR KNIGHTLEY:
Were she prosperous, or a woman equal to your age and situation, 
I would not quarrel with any liberties of manner. But she is poor! 
Even moreso than when she was born, and should she live to be 
an old lady, she will sink further still, her situation being in every 
way below you should secure your compassion!
Badly done, Emma. Badly done. She has watched you grow
from a time when her notice of you was in honor to this, 
humbling her and laughing at her in front of people who would 
be guided by your treatment of her. It is not pleasant for me to say 
these things, but I must tell you the truth while I still can, 
proving myself your friend by the most faithful counsel, 
trusting that sometime you will do my faith in you greater justice
that you do it now.
